结束会谈与复发预防计划

So, as we approach our final sessions, I wanted to discuss a bit about relapse prevention. How are you feeling about maintaining the progress you've made?

I feel a lot more confident than I did months ago. I've learned so many coping mechanisms and the thought patterns have definitely shifted. But I guess there's always that little worry in the back of my mind.

That's completely normal. It's not about never having challenges again, but about having the tools to navigate them effectively. What have you found to be the most effective strategies for you so far?

Definitely the mindfulness exercises and identifying my triggers. Knowing what sets me off allows me to prepare. And reaching out to my support system, that's been huge.

Excellent. Those are powerful tools. Let's think about potential stressors or situations that might test these strategies in the future. What are some early warning signs you'd look out for?

Probably increased irritability, difficulty sleeping, and avoiding social interactions. Those were always the first signs things were getting difficult before. I'll make sure to monitor those closely.

Good. And if you notice them, what's your initial plan of action? What's the first step you'd take?

I'd go back to my daily mindfulness practice, and maybe talk to my sister or a close friend. If it feels overwhelming, I know I can always revisit the resources we discussed, or even schedule a check-in session.

Precisely. Remember, this isn't a linear journey, and having a plan for those moments is a sign of resilience. You've built such a strong foundation.
